So, we've had a rough start to the season but one player who has struggled for a while, even before Bond joined, is McLaughlin. As a winger you'd hope they'd be involved in the play by creating assists and chances for the strikers to take and also to chip in with a few goals a year. 5-10 say. However, it is clear that McLaughlin has been poor for a while. He hasn't scored since December 5th, 2018 in the EFL Cup against Luton. In the league he hasn't scored since September 8th 2018 against our next opponents, Peterborough. He had 3 goals in total last year.
What about assists I hear you ask?
Well according to the stats, he recorded a single assist last year across 38 games. He has yet to record one this season. For the amount of wages he is on, that isn't anywhere near good enough. What can Southend do? Personally, I'd just look to see if you can loan him out. He isn't good enough and a move would possibly be good for him. Failing that, try selling to clear the wages and bring someone in to replace him.
What would you guys do then? It's clear he isn't good enough and doesn't offer anything.
